Blocks 5 – 8

So, here we are again with Row 2.

Block 5 has lots of space,
so I filled it up with paisleys. Sweet.

Block 6 also has space, so
we have pebbles with occasional shells.

Block 7 – Oooh, I'm so
happy with how this turned out. After outlining the interior petals
and leaf spaces, I was at a loss as how to quilt the background
because there are still a lot of teeny spaces formed by the leaves
along the edge of the design. It just popped into my head to echo
those shapes a couple of times. Then what? Keep going! The echos fill
the space out to the boundary. So cool.

Block 8 is a little more
open than the reindeer was, so I have added little feathers to the
continuous curl design.

I've got some non-quilty
commitments during the rest of this week, so progress on Row 3 will
be slower. See you when I get it finished!
